Tangentopoli

This term (which means “kick back city”) is widely used in the Italian media. It was first coined to describe Milan, where the judiciary had carried out an investigation into a series of episodes involving corruption, and was then extended to mean the whole system of illegal financing by the government parties which was uncovered in a famous inquiry in 1992-93.

Mani pulite

This is the name of the famous legal inquiry in Milan which, starting in 1992, brought to light the system of bribe-paying and corruption in which the government parties were involved, and eventually led to their being disbanded and to the end of the so-called First Republic.

Prima repubblica

This is the name given to the system of political power, often based on corruption and the illegal financing of parties, which collapsed in 1992-93 following the scandals which emerged from the Mani pulite inquiry, but also because of the fading of the ideological contrasts of the Cold War. The major government parties of the time, including in particular the Democrazia Cristiana (Christian Democrats) and the Partito Socialista (Socialist Party), were disbanded and new parties which are still active today took their place.

vino

A glass of wine (vino) is an essential part of the Italian mealtime. Italians are estimated to drink 70 liters per head every year. In the past, due to the competition from other countries and the lack of an official classification system, Italian wine was not drunk much abroad. These days, thanks to the recovery of old grape varieties and a revival of traditional manual harvesting methods, Italy has become a great producer and exporter both of white wines - such as vernaccia di San Gimignano, verduzzo, Sardinian vermentino, and red - barolo , barbera , chianti , nero d'avola , and carignano del sulcis . The law of 1992 introduced a degree of clarity into wine classification, with wines being divided into the following categories: vino da tavola, where no indication of origin is given; IGT or Indicazione Geografica Tipica; DOC, Denominazione d'Origine Controllata; and DOCG, Denominazione d'Origine Controllata e Garantita.
